  • 675ml cream
  • 225ml milk
  • 100gm sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • ready made short pastry

Remove from oven and trim edges neatly and return case to cook for a further 10 to 15 minutes.

Remove from oven and set aside to cool.

Turn oven temp down to 110

Chop chocolate and place in a large bowl.

Whisk eggs together and stir into chocolate mix and pour into prepared case.

Bake for 40 minutes or until set around outside.

Allow to cool for 2 hours.
